Description Specifications
Model: W-160 DRS Turbo Meter is based on the turbine principle SERVICE Measurement of cold water up to 80F (27C)
of measurement; its operating range is from 4 to 160 gallons per with flow in one direction only.

OPERATING Continuous Flows: 4 to 160 gpm (0.9 to 36 m3/h)
of actual thruput. RANGE Intermittent Flows: 200 gpm max. (45 m3/h)
Conformance To Standards: Sensus Turbo Meters comply with ACCURACY 100% 1.5% of actual thruput
ANSI/AWWA Standard C701 (most recent revision). Each meter is
performance tested to insure compliance. LOW FLOW 95% at 3 gpm

Performance: The meters unique principle of measurement PRESSURE LOSS 6.5 psi at 160 gpm
assures extended accuracy life. The W-160 DRS has no restrictions (.8 bar at 36 m3/h)
as to sustained flow rates within its operating range. The design
permits continuous operation up to its rated maximum flow capacity, MAXIMUM 150 psi (10.0 bar)
without affecting long term accuracy or causing undue wear. OPERATING

Construction : The meter consists of two basic assemblies the FLANGE 2" size, two-bolt oval, AWWA 125 pound class

Rotor: The thermoplastic rotor with graphite bearing rotates on a Test Plug1-1/2" Tapered Pipe Threads
chrome plated stainless steel shaft. The rotor assembly is virtually
weightless in water, thus adding to bearing life.
Maintenance: The measuring chamber and straightening vanes
can be removed, repaired and/or replaced without disturbing the
maincase in the line. A spare chamber can be utilized in the event
maintenance is required. Cover plates are also available to keep
the line in service while the measuring chamber is repaired and
recalibrated. A test outlet is provided in the outlet end for ease of
flushing or accuracy testing. Factory testing, repair and measuring
chamber exchange programs are available.
Strainer: The Model W-160 DRS Turbo Meter is designed with
an integral V shaped stainless steel strainer built into its inlet
end. A removable cover plate permits easy access to the strainer
for routine cleaning.
